only root can mount usb memory

hello,
i have a small problem: trying to mount my usb stick as user i get the message that only root can do that; it is not a big deal but still a bit annoying to login as root everytime i want to copy some small thing. I can create and delete files on it once mounted as user.
i am member of disk in /etc/group
the fstab entry>>/dev/sda1 /mnt/pipi vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

sorry everyone, it was simple, changed fstab to auto,noauto,user and it works,
